Upgrading with DATA2EXt will never work due how it works.

It might work, but you never know what nasty things remained from previous version. Therefore, it is recommended to ALWAYS wipe Dalvik-cache when you're upgrading ROM.
[Desire Android Development] APC73:
what about sibere data2sd?
[Desire Android Development] jokk3:
can i remove *.apk that i dont want from the zip-file like any other rom?
[Desire Android Development] APC73:
what would you say is the best way of upgrading without wiping and starting again (that i'm doing at the mo lol) if it can be done

can it be done with titanium?
[Desire Android Development] RoBy46:
Need wipe from version 6??

I have version a2sd.

Thank in advance.
[Desire Android Development] copas2:
Anybody with circle battery mod?
[Desire Android Development] theGanymedes:
I do the upgrading sometimes, if I know the ROMs are compatible (updated version, for instance)

All I do is editing the Data2SD (or whatever) scripts to prevent them from formatting the ext partition(s). After I clean dalvik.cache, and apply modified script; the phone rebuilds the dalvik.cache and voila!...

Gotta know how to do the stuff though :)
[Desire Android Development] APC73:
Anyone having probs with the gallery?

I have installed v7 and most of the apps icons are listed in the gallery. It was ok in v6
[Desire Android Development] theGanymedes:
I've no probs. with mine..
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
Ask theGanymedes for help.
[Desire Android Development] t-minik:
Please Coolexe, can you give us MD5 for your files ?

BravoS V7 seems to be : ca60d56e1b6ef53fd6bd548015593a84
[Desire Android Development] xky1980:
Sometime, opening gallery app, htc sense process crashes.
[Desire Android Development] snake2903:
Installed this ROM....woooow...it's so fast and responsible...everything works great for now...
[Desire Android Development] snake2903:
Also have problems with gallery...htc sense crash sometimes after using gallery3D
[Desire Android Development] t-minik:
no gallery problem for me.

Coolexe ? will you update kernel ?
[Desire Android Development] APC73:
after the problems with the gallery i re-flashed the rom, everything this time is working great :)

only thing what needs sorting is how to upgrade versions if you have Data2ext flashed.
[Desire Android Development] alidsd:
Today I flashed this Rom, till now its working fine but I noticed that after installing a few application my internal storage is getting low.

Does this Rom support a2sd or a2sd+ ?

Well I am not interested in data2sd due to two ext partitions.
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
* Cyanogen A2SD script tweaked by me, moves both Apps and Dalvik to EXT.

From first post.
[Desire Android Development] alidsd:
Hi k3lcior,

I can not find a2sd script in first post of this thread.

In first post I can only see the script for 2 ext partitions, I have only one ext 4 partition created by 4ext recovery.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] t-minik:
A2SD+ is a built in feature.

Just flash rom and your ext will be used.

script can be found in /ect/init.d

EDIT //just a question for Coolexe :

you said in OP : Cache Partition Mount as Re-writable

so, can we wipe cache partition in recovery without problem ?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] alidsd:
Thanks found it.
[Desire Android Development] t-minik:
;)

just a question for Coolexe :

you said in OP : Cache Partition Mount as Re-writable

so, can we wipe cache partition in recovery without problem ?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] asp2010:
Depends on what you want to achieve. In recovery, only the cache partition itself is mounted to /cache. So, if you wipe it, any data on it will be deleted, no matter where the ROM you're using mounts it (to /cache, /data or /system).
[Desire Android Development] t-minik:
thanks,

so it means that i can't wipe cache and dalvik for making a kernel update for example.

Dalvik is not the problem but cache could be annoying.

is there a way to wipe cache only when phone is running ?

EDIT // i'm testing new kernel update by snq- and it's great to me, no wipe, just removed teeter to make some available space.
[Desire Android Development] asp2010:
well, since your /cache is mounted for storage use and not for actually holding the cache, like it usually does, you don't need to wipe it (the purpose of the wipe is to remove the actual cache).

as for doing it while the phone is booted, since it's mounted for R/W you could just use a terminal emulator to remove all the files on it.

cd /cache
rm -rf *

i haven't tested it, but i don't see why it wouldn't work so...
[Desire Android Development] sykomaniac:
I flashed this ROM and now it just says damaged SD card even though it was working before. I've also formatted it on a pc using windows and ubuntu both can read the ad card but the phone says its damaged. I tried a 256mb SD and that works! Anyone any ideas please?
[Desire Android Development] sykomaniac:
Oh yeah and i installed without any ext partitions straight to stock hboot
[Desire Android Development] theGanymedes:
Unmount sd-ext?

Hey Coolexe; thanks for this very cool Rom; I use it and love it...

Lately, though, I couldn't help but realize that everytime I shutdown the phone, the logcat shows that SDcard is unmounted but not SD-ext's. And everytime phone boots, I see E2FSCK fixing some inodes, directory entrances and stuff... It seems like since we're not unmounting SD-EXT's, there happens to be some nasty remainders there...

I wonder if you (or I if possible) can make an unmount script which unmounts sd-ext partitions on phone restart (or poweroff).

That might not be a big deal but, well, I don't trust sd-cards much :)

PS: I'm using Data2ext mode...

PPS: May you also do something for trackpad unlock? I dislike it very much, but since system is odex'ed, I dunno what to do.. I just want trackpad awake and that's all..

PPPS: Found some solution here for Poweroff... Couldn't find one for restart though: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=866981
[Desire Android Development] sykomaniac:
Anyone any help? I've since flashed a different ROM and my 4gb SD card is working perfect! Just this ROM that doesn't seem to like it no matter what I try!
[Desire Android Development] Pursuitz:
Just a suggestion, since the equalizer from e htc music app doesn't work, y not use the htcmusic.apk frm Desire z rom instead? At least it has landscape support n seems more suitable for the Desire.
[Desire Android Development] theGanymedes:
Libraries might be completely different for that device.. Use PowerAmp or DSPManager for the time being...
[Desire Android Development] itsme_4ucz:
battery % percent mod for this rom any1 ?.

THX.
[Desire Android Development] sykomaniac:
Still stuck with the "damaged SD card error"

As an update I tried other coolexe roms and these give me errors with my SD as well. Other roms can use my SD card no problems.
[Desire Android Development] Pursuitz:
oops I meant using e htcmusic.apk frm e coolexe vision rom... I just flashed it n its working just fine. Just that it is e oni htc apk which is not odexed compared to the other stock apps in it. Would really appreciate if some1 could odex it :) Yeah I am using DSPManager currently.

p.s I agree with you regarding e removal of trackpad to unlock
[Desire Android Development] t-minik:
Did you try a fresh install with a well formated card ?

- backup your user apps only with titanium backup and shut down phone

- copy your Fat32 partition "including hidden files" on your computer

- Format your SD with Gparted (1 fat32 + 1 ext partition)

- copy you Fat32 from computer to SD

- install Rom and reboot phone

- restore titanium backups
[Desire Android Development] alidsd:
Can you please share the apk that have working equalizer , bass boost and SRS effect.

I need it in original Music player application. I don't want to use the DSP manager or other equalizer applications.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] sykomaniac:
Cheers for the advice.

I have definitely formatted the SD card correctly. I can try GParted just to make sure.

Only point I noticed from your advice is you say add an ext partition. The OP states that no ext is needed and it fits on the 250mb HBoot. Is this still the case?
[Desire Android Development] t-minik:
probably you can use this rom with no-EXT, i didn't try.

if you don't want to use EXT, maybe you can remove a2sd script from zip in /system/ect/init.d/ ?

can someone confirm this ?
[Desire Android Development] bookerok:
This rom + sibere kernel (savadzen gov) := cooooool :D

wait new reliase v8 with more tweak and optimization
[Desire Android Development] theGanymedes:
No "connect your charger"?

Today I realized, is there no "connect your charger" warning screen for Lock screen in this ROM? My battery is just aligned, yet my battery suddenly goes to 1% from 15%; and I didn't see any "connect your charger" warning (which was showinh around 20% I think)...

Also, don't you think 15% is high? Is there a way to make it, say, 10%? Been looking for it but seems like no one has the answer.. Coolexe?
[Desire Android Development] Pursuitz:
Sorry I think you misunderstood. What I meant is that since the equalizers of the htcmusic.apk on the AceS and SagaS do not work, why not just use VisionS' music apk as a substitute. I suggested it as I do not like to see good but broken apps running on my phone and since the VisionS' copy does not have any equalizers, it seems to fit and proven to be working on this BravoS rom.

So sadly, everyone will just have to stick to DSP Manager for the time being. The reason I think why the music app equalizer did not work may be due to it utilising codes recognised only by the MSM 8255 (Desire is using QSD 8250) since it was designed to be able to adjust such audio effects.
[Desire Android Development] alidsd:
Ok, got your point.

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] asp2010:
I've been experiencing this on other ROMs as well. The reason is not ROM-related, but the fact that our batteries have lost some of their capacity due to normal wear. Aside from calibrating your battery from time to time, there's not a lot you can really do...
[Desire Android Development] theGanymedes:
I really don't think this is the case... My phone is only 8 months old; do you think it's too soon for battery wear off? I think this is voltage controller related, and quite ROM based.. I'll check a Froyo ROM today, to make sure..

EDIT: As I suspected.. A Froyo ROM is showing warning screen at 15%; while this one shuts down... It's a pity, cause I love this ROM :(

EDIT2: Weird.. I used a Froyo ROM to drop down to 10%, and used NANDroid restore to restore this ROM, now I see the "Connect Charger" warning :S
[Desire Android Development] k017d:
Nice and very fast ROM.

Very impressed.

One thing though: when I press search button in home screen - it just vibrates and nothing. In all apps it works just fine.

Any ideas?

Should I try to backup and reflash the ROM?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] theGanymedes:
Maybe Search is not installed, or not set for defaults? Try installing Voice Search or something (or reinstall if installed).
[Desire Android Development] k017d:
Thanks a million. :) I thought that something's wrong with button... :)
[Desire Android Development] theGanymedes:
Today, I charged my phone to full, and waited for it to discharge. At about 20%, the phone suddenly powered off (no warnings of whatsoever) and when I rebooted back, it was showing 0%... The battery level was 3415mV - which a little high, I think, because somewhere around here I read that it should be around 3200mV- and when I checked the history, it was showing a steep curve which shows buttery suddenly died. I don't have such issues with StarBurst (a Froyo based ROM) but some other users also complained same issue with other GB Roms as well.. Could there be a flaw in current/battery controller driver or something? I'm OK with my phone shutdown, but only if it would warn me prior to it, it would be awesome..
[Desire Android Development] k3lcior:
Discharge your phone to 0%, connect AC Charger and go to recovery, wipe battery stats and charge it to 100%.

Had same issue and it did the job, today i started charging my phone at 6% and it did not shutdown itself. :)
[Desire Android Development] theGanymedes:
Should I charge when on, or off?

PS: I did discharge to 0% and charged 100% and erased battery stats before, but it didn't work. This time I'll try to erase stats on 0% and charge 100% from there.. Hope it works..

Weird thing is, if I do flash a froyo rom and swith back, I can see "red" battery icon; otherwise it shuts down at "yellow" battery :S

PPS: Right now, it says 3674 mV, but at 6% (swithced between froyo and this).. I think the problem is, ROM thinks battery can last longer, so showing high percentage; while battery actually can't.. Somehow Froyo sense this better(?).

This is really a buzz killer for me, for I love this ROM (and actually, Gingerbread in general) but Froyo ROM looks somehow more stable about these stuff.

EDIT: Last night, I tried to see if the problem will persist, the result was incredible: the phone shutdown at 34%!!! The screenlight was full and set to never sleep to drain battery faster, and also opened some applications as well... at 34%, it hit 34xx mv and shutdown; yet no warning at all..

EDIT 2: I was just hurrying up about this. Phone learned battery stats in time better. The discussion is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1268313

Sorry, I'm addicted to them. :P
[Desire Android Development] theGanymedes:
I liked them, tbh :D Smaller fonts seems more like it :)

It's not, because there's no ODEXed, Ace-based, pure Sense 2.1 ROM available. If you don't like my add-on, don't use it. :)

You're welcome. I'm not quite sure if there are no bugs caused by this, but I haven't noticed any till now.

Hi,

I got problems obtaining an ip over wifi, with dhcp.

Here´s some log from WifiStateTracker

http://pastebin.com/2rc3JMBQ

Using a static IP is working ... :(

I tried V7 + V6, both have the same problem for me.

Tried with 2 different routers, their dhcp servers assigned a lease, but the device was still not able to obtain the ip :(
[Desire Android Development] Biker78:
Hi all, I installed v7 and a2sd without problems, no issues for the moment...

Is it normal seeing only 139 Mb of internal free memory with a2sd?

If I install apps from the market (even big ones) the internal memory stays on 139...
[Desire Android Development] t-minik:
it's normal, apps are installed on your A2SD+ partition (sdext) instead of internal memory.
[Desire Android Development] vr5411:
That's just fine. Both apk(s) and dalvik are moved to sd card.

Internal mem will with time go down (aps that use external libraries like google earth, firefox and satnav apps fills internal most).

This can be pushed to sd selectivelly by following baadnewz guide to additionally free internal mem when low, so you could utilize your a2sd fully.

I've been running Cool-Z v9 until now, sitting on the fence waiting for a better ROM. Finally took the plunge and installed BravoS v7. Great ROM, quick and stable, just like I like it :D

Questions:

1. how do I get rid of the boot sound?

2. is UOT supposed to work with this ROM? If yes, is there any trick, because I haven't been able to boot (I get bootloops) anytime I tried to modify anything through the kitchen.

P.S. disregard my signature, I will update it once I settle...
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
It's sad, really. In the light of Sense 3.0 and 3.5, SagaS, VisionS and BravoS are dying or are already dead.

[Desire Android Development] Okur90:
ideal sense rom for the Desire mate! the rosie lockscreen is a pain to unlock or answer phone calls. Cool Sense is snappy, fluid and has sense 2.1 which the Desire can easily handle without the drawbacks of Rosie or the standard ROM. It just works. Keep up the good work coolexe! :D:D
[Desire Android Development] dani_vh92:
Still one of the best ROMS for the Desire.

Waiting for another update of this awesome work!

[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
Cool story bro.
[Desire Android Development] malachay:
Found it out :)

There was not enough space left on /system ... so not everything could be copied.

I deleted Quickoffice in the ROM-Zip, flashed it, et voila, everything was fine ^^
[Desire Android Development] aldinmurguz:
WOW

I installed this ROM last week, and I think I just might have found my daily ROM!

It's THE FASTEST ROM to date, and after some small mods it's the most stable ROM for HTC Desire found here in XDA (don't waste time searching for better ROM)!

1. Set partition sizes like this: Fat32 (32k size), 1GB Ext4, 341MB Ext4

2. Set max frequency back to 998MHz in Demaon OC or flash stock.zip from post # 424w after ROM flash, to fix issue where screen freezes and the phone needs reboot!

GREAT JOB COOLEXE!

Hello,

I downloaded and installed the v7 of this rom and it's working great :)

But I have 2 requests:

- Is it possible to have an Expresso theme with this version ? I found a post for a previous version but doesn't work with v7... :(

- I can't make a UOT kitchen working file... I would like to change the battery style and boot animation

Best regards
[Desire Android Development] Manek49:
From first post - UOT don't work.
[Desire Android Development] Oligoy:
Yeah, I read the first post but in the thread, I understood that peoples make it works... but it was certainly in previous versions...
[Desire Android Development] NeoEpsilon:
Boot animation can be changed by replacing bootanimation.zip located in /data/local...

While battery icon can be changed manually (never tried UOT Kitchen)... :D

Search the guide for circle battery mod...

the battery life is awesome...

i have themed this rom;)
[Desire Android Development] nickislauw:
can you share that nice theme! :D?

Its really nice man
[Desire Android Development] mildwild:
testing phase at the moment:rolleyes:

i make a clean Official Gingerbread HTC rom with this theme

I have been using 0.7g (BFS, NO2WAY) for a day and I can say it is very stable. Also I had no issues at all with 0.7f.
[Desire Android Development] dani_vh92:
Is there any posibility about using Android 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 in this ROM?
[Desire Android Development] keibeel:
Yea, I also want to know the pros of the Gingercakes kernel. Why does Cool changed it from snq? Nothing against this but just want to know for information.
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
Because cool want to change it. That's the only explanation you need to know.
[Desire Android Development] Oligoy:
Thanx :)

But I can't find the guide which explain how to manualy change the battery style

I only find threads with links to the UOT kitchen
[Desire Android Development] copas2:
Well, HTC has recently released the whole source of the newest kernel to the Desire.

Snq's kernel is mainly the same but it is the already compiled binary from the ROM itself with some modified drivers and other modules later built to it (with help of a different device's kernel source with the same version).

These other new kernels are compiled from the released source material. These sources are being directly modified to gain some improvement against the stock version.
[Desire Android Development] dani_vh92:
quoting :p
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
Sure there is. First you need Sense's source code (I'm sure HTC will give you right away) and then you need it to compile it with Android of version you desire. Piece of cake.
[Desire Android Development] alidsd:
It seems to be so simple.

Sent from Hell using XDA App
[Desire Android Development] t-minik:
does anyone tested V8 ?

i think it's not as smooth as V7,

i'll test 110926 snq- kernel and report back, it was great for me on V7.

EDIT // Wow ! just flashed 110926 from snq-, it's really really smoother for me.
